UPS Worldwide Express guarantees morning delivery to 28 more countries
UNITED Parcel Service (UPS) has announced the expansion of its earliest morning package delivery service, UPS Worldwide Express Plus.
By expanding its reach to 28 new countries and enhancing service to cover more postal codes in 25 existing countries, shippers can reach the top 20 economies in the world earlier than ever before, said a UPS statement.
Businesses in industrial manufacturing, automotive, healthcare and retail can use the service for urgent shipments. The UPS Express Plus service offers guaranteed delivery on the next business day as early as 8am, depending on the destination.
In the 25 countries, including Hong Kong, shippers can reach more customers in many global business centres. The service is not limited to the largest cities.
This expansion now makes the service available in 3,000 additional postal codes in the United Kingdom and 2,000 more postal codes in Canada.
"Companies that require spare parts quickly to keep operations running, and healthcare customers shipping emergency products rely on the speed and dependability of the service," said UPS international president Jim Barber.
"With this latest expansion, the coverage area comprises nearly 90 per cent of the global gross domestic product and nearly 90 per cent of global real imports."
Said UPS Hong Kong and Macau chief Steven Wong: "The expansion of UPS Worldwide Express Plus service is timely considering the bilateral trade opportunities available not just within the Asian region, but globally.
"Last year, Mexico was Hong Kong's largest export market and second largest source of imports in Latin America. The UAE ranks as Hong Kong's largest export market in the Middle East, with total imports from the UAE growing by 10.1 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2016."
